Xianggui

Ding Xiang knew that Feifei's house was right under the "chicken head".

She suppressed the turmoil in her heart, pretending to be surprised and said, "That mountain looks like a big chicken head."

Ding Shan said, "That's Jitou Peak."

Ding Xiang asked again, "Where is my grandfather's house?"

Ding Shan said, "Jitou Peak is far away. It is in the deepest part of this mountain range and it is also the highest peak. It is separated from Nanfu Mountain by two mountains and a large canyon. No one has been there. Zhang Laozhang's house is coming soon, In the valley below."

People can't go, but eagles can.

The big Ganoderma lucidum floated in front of Lilac's eyes.

She said silently, Feifei, where are you?

Ding Liren persuaded her, "Sister, eat cakes and drink water. Don't cry, Dad said that I will be fine and come back to life."

Ding Shan looked at Ding Xiang's red and swollen eyes, so thin that his face was pointed.Secretly, everyone said that this child was precocious and thoughtful, and it was true.

Such a young child doesn't even know what death means. Her life and death just now don't make people feel sad.

He fed Ding Xiang a few sips of water with the water bag, and stuffed half a pancake and a peeled egg into her hands.

"Eat it. Don't worry, your grandfather is the king of Gu'an Town. When he was young, he often got into fights and was beaten to death. It's not so easy to die."

Almost a day and a night without a drop of water, Ding Xiang quickly finished eating eggs and pancakes, and drank a few sips by herself holding the water bag.

Xia Dahe said to Ding Shan, "Third Grandpa, there are so many birds today, they circle around our heads, driving off one batch and then coming back."

Ding Shan was also puzzled and shook his head.

Several people finished their lunch and continued on their way.

The road in the back mountain is relatively gentle. After an hour, there are more pedestrians, and you can see the terraced fields, tea gardens, and some fruit trees.

There are two small villages on the gentle slope below, Liuwa Village in the north and Liujian Village in the south.Below is a rushing river.The river rushes out of the mountains, then meanders around the north side of Nanfu Mountain, and flows outside the mountain to join the Heilong River.

The scenery here is beautiful and the natural resources are abundant, but the villagers living here are barren.

If the previous life engaged in the tourism industry and repaired the road, this must be a 4A scenic spot.Add some historical figures or events, and 5A scenic spots are all possible.

Finally came to the entrance of the village.

Ding Liren pointed to a winding path and said, "Go along this path."

The people here are all thatched houses with loess walls.

Also, it takes a lot of freight to bring in tiles and bricks from outside.

According to Mrs. Zhang, Liuwa Village and Liujian Village don't even have a hunchbacked animal, and they rely on people's backs to sell things outside the mountains.

Mrs. Zhang has been married to the Ding family for 11 years, and she has nearly [-] pennies of money to support her mother's family. With this money, Zhang's family bought two acres of mountain land.

There is little land here and the people are poor, but few die of starvation.As long as you work hard, you can eat the land, grow tea, grow fruit trees, hunt, fish, and pick mountain products.

However, there is no fence here, and every house has a uniform high earth wall.There are many wild animals in the mountains, in order to prevent wild animals from entering the yard in the middle of the night.

Suddenly, Ding Liren shouted, "Brother Jinshi."

Zhang Jinshi is the second son of Zhang Dabao, Zhang's elder brother, half a year older than Ding Liren.

A black boy who was playing with his friends saw them and was so excited that he turned around and ran back, shouting as he ran, "Master, Master, Brother Xing and Sister Xiang are here..."

Although it was Ding Xiang's first visit to Liuwa Village, Zhang's family had been to Ding's house and knew Ding Xiang,

When he came to Zhang's house, Mr. Zhang greeted him.Surprised, "Oh, he, Uncle Shanzi, is a rare visitor. Where's Zhaozi?"

He doesn't know Xia Dahe

Seeing Lilac actually came, he was even more surprised.

Ding Shan and Xia Dahe put the child down.

Ding Shan said, "Something happened to my second brother's house, let's send these two children here."

Mr. Zhang dragged Ding Shan and the two into the house to talk, and then asked Zhang Jinshi to go to the field to ask his son to come back to accompany the guests, and his daughter-in-law came back to cook and clean up the house.

It was not the end of the day, it was too late for Ding Shan and Ding Shuan to come out of the mountain.

Ding Shan hurriedly said, "There are still things at home, we have to rush out of the mountain."

Zhang Laozhang asked his granddaughter Zhang Yu to boil a few eggs and bake a few cakes for them to take with them on the road.

Uncle Zhang Dabao has two sons and two daughters.The eldest daughter Zhang Yu is 13 years old, the eldest son Zhang Jinshan is [-] years old, the second son Zhang Jinshi is [-] years old, and the youngest daughter Zhang Qian is [-] years old.

The second uncle, Zhang Xiaobao, is 17 years old and has no daughter-in-law yet. He has high vision and wants to find Shuiling.

Zhang Yu looks like Mrs. Zhang, tall, thin, and very diligent.

She smiled and led the little siblings to sit under the eaves, reached out and picked a few ripe dates from the date tree in the yard for them, and then went to work in the kitchen.

Zhang Qian was very shy, and brought out two bowls of water for the little siblings, "Brother Ren, sister Xiang, drink water. Put sugar, it's too sweet."

Before Ding Xiang could speak, she blushed and ran into the kitchen to help her sister light the fire.

Zhang Qian is very thin and has a sallow complexion. She has been in poor health and often falls ill.Lilac once pinched her little hands, which were really as thin as chicken feet.

The big yellow dog named Fa Cai barked twice before squatting obediently beside Ding Xiang.

Ding Liren was very puzzled, "Every time my eldest brother and I come, it's so fierce, why is it so honest today?"

Ding Xiang ignored him, but stared at the distant chicken-headed bee in a daze.

After a short while, Uncle Zhang and Uncle Yu, who were busy in the field, rushed back.

Zhang Jinshi said that Zhang Xiaobao and Zhang Jinshan went to the mountain to cut firewood and pick up mountain goods, but they were not found.

After the adults finished speaking, they called the little brothers and sisters in.

Mr. Zhang pulled the little siblings to lean against his legs, and said, "We are poor and cannot help Ding's family financially. These two children will definitely be taken care of properly, and they can live as long as they want. Let Ding's family and son-in-law rest assured... ..."

The Zhang family caught two chickens, took a pack of mushrooms, and two taels of silver, and went to a neighbor's house to buy some good anti-bleeding medicine Golden snake vine, and asked Ding Shan and Xia Dahe to bring it to Ding Zhuang.

Ding Xiang was full of gratitude, mother did not help them in vain before.Two taels of silver didn't look like much, so it should be half of his family's savings, which was saved for Zhang Xiaobao's wife.If the money is taken out, if the family can't pay it back immediately, the younger uncle's marriage to a wife will be postponed again.

The yard of the Zhang family is not big, with a jujube tree in the middle, and the main house has six rooms at the front and back.Except for one main room, the other five rooms are occupied by people.There is no special warehouse, and each room is full of grain or sundries.

There are two side buildings in the back, one is the kitchen, and the other is the toilet plus pigsty and chicken pen.

Ding Liren whispered to Ding Xiang, "The toilet in his house is smelly and scary, my sister just defecates and pees in the bucket, and my brother helps you empty the bucket."

Ding Xiang looked at the seven-year-old carrot head, shook her head and said, "No need."

Ding Liren said again, "When my sister goes to the latrine, she should be accompanied by Cousin Yu or Cousin Qian, and don't fall."

"okay."

Mr. Zhang arranged for Ding Xiang to live with Zhang Yu's sister, and Ding Liren to live with Zhang Jinshan's brother.
